Submitted by CaptainBatard on November 12, 2009 - 8:35am Pain Au Levain Aux Et RaisinThis is my first attempt to post a blog. I have been baking bread and looking at the site for many years....here it goes. I try to make a bread at least once a week especially when the weather is agreeable. I was looking for a bread to make over the week-end and saw the Cherry Pecan sour dough recipe posted by Mountaindog....and thought...that will work! I did tweak the formula a bit, I used 35% white whole wheat, 5% rye and increased the hydration to 73%. (my flour tends to be thirsty). It was not fussy at all and had a nice oven spring. Next time I might try leaving out the ww and up the rye. I like a bold bake......
That was touch and go tring to get the photos in.... Being sent to Yeast Spotting Cheers

Beautiful loaves!
I love it that you put in some white whole wheat (I always try to sneak some in, pretty much everywhere). Are these pecans as in the original recipe or pistacchios? The bread really came out gorgeous. I love the symetry in the crumb picture.
Thanks to all....
Susan.... Look for me....
